Hello all,
I have just started building my bench. I will be posting phase pictures as it gets built and as I add on features like drawers and shelving.
Frame is made from western red cedar, the top once I build it will be made of maple 3/4 plywood.
That will be nice when you get er done!!! cant wait to see it, take a look at the bench top I made, to me it is very handy and easy to organize, right Paul. maybe, James, there are some ideas there for you?? Have fun.
WilliamJust added the maple ply top and screw plugs for a nice flat surface.
Next i will be staining or just adding a clear coat for the ply top.
Nice going James, I was a cheap skate and opted for a large desk that someone was giving away, I can be a bit lazy and very cheap
Yours is looking very nice, you just cant beat having something purpose built.
Good luck with it and keep us posted.
Paul.Got my edge on now and new tool boxes.
Also I included a pic of the lathe i just picked up..kinda in pieces but i am fixing it up. will upload a pic of it finished.
My lathe is DONE! got a replacement tailstock off ebay. it fits and is as centre as its getting.
Motor is kinda slow. only 1500 rpm. new one already on order with a foot pedal.
That looks beautiful James, you should be very pleased with yourself. Now your next job is to find me one that nice
Paul.
cant wait to see the lathe set up, sounds like you got a nice deal - You must be logged in to reply to this topic.
